Chapter 149: Twelve Golden Men of the Qin Dynasty



The First Emperor felt a little full, but looking at the watermelon with green skin and red flesh, he couldn't help but want to taste it.

After all, the Qin Dynasty didn't have this thing.

After eating the watermelon, the First Emperor and Fusu felt even fuller.

In the end, both of them were helped back by the eunuchs.

Fusu even packed some watermelon and took it back to his mother.

"Qi Yuan," the First Emperor ordered softly, "Go and invite that girl over for me."

"Yes." Qi Yuan immediately took small steps to invite Cheng Xiaoxiao.

The First Emperor looked away from the memorial, thinking about the gift he was going to give to Cheng Xiaoxiao, and muttered to himself, "I wonder if that girl will like it..."

Then he lowered his head and continued to deal with memorials.

In just a few minutes, Cheng Xiaoxiao brought Qi Yuan to the front of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor: “???” What a unique way to make an appearance?

"Girl," the First Emperor asked, "what's going on?"

"But Qi Yuan bumped into you?"

Qi Yuan, who was held in Cheng Xiaoxiao's hand: "..." I feel so wronged!

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at Qi Yuan, who was in her arms. She put Qi Yuan on the ground, bowed to the First Emperor, and then spoke, "Ancestor, it's not true."

She smiled awkwardly and said, "I was afraid you would get impatient waiting, so I offended Secretary Qi."

Cheng Xiaoxiao turned around and bowed to Qi Yuan, "Secretary Qi, I apologize for any offense I have caused you."

Qi Yuan, clutching his chest, quickly knelt down and said, "It's okay, it's okay, young lady, you're really embarrassing me."

The First Emperor waved his hand towards Qi Yuan. "Alright, Qi Yuan, you can go down now!"

"Bring up everything I asked you to prepare."

"Yes." Qi Yuan stood up and walked out of the hall quickly.

Soon, he entered the hall with several teams of palace servants carrying trays.

At first glance, Cheng Xiaoxiao saw exquisite pottery figurines, pottery horses, pottery people, bronze artifacts, small bronze tripods, and so on.

Qi Yuan came to report, "Your Majesty, everything you want has been prepared." After saying that, he stepped aside.

The First Emperor stood up and signaled the palace servants to put the things down.

After the palace maid put down the things, she left the hall.

The First Emperor said to Cheng Xiaoxiao, "Girl, take a look. Do you like these things?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, "I like it, I like it. I like anything given by my ancestors."

Cheng Xiaoxiao: Of course I like them, after all, they are all antiques!

When we bring it back and hand it over to the country, those archaeologists will be thrilled.

Suddenly, Cheng Xiaoxiao thought of a Qin Dynasty cultural relic whose whereabouts are unknown in modern times.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the First Emperor and said, "Ancestor, I want to ask you for something."

The First Emperor raised his eyebrows and thought, "Just in case I feel these are not enough!"

He asked Cheng Xiaoxiao, "What is it?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao: "Twelve Golden Men."

The Twelve Golden Men of the Qin Dynasty refer to the twelve bronze statues of human figures from the Qin Dynasty, also known as the "Twelve Golden Men of Qin Shi Huang"

The sculptures of the Twelve Golden Men of the Qin Dynasty have different images, representing different military positions and military stages.

These bronze statues are about 1.8 meters tall. Each statue is dressed in different attire, wears a different helmet, and holds a different weapon.

These bronze figures have vivid expressions, different postures and are lifelike, with exquisite sculpture craftsmanship and advanced casting technology.

Not only are their images lifelike, but the details are also handled with great care, perfectly demonstrating the level of casting technology during the Qin Dynasty and the military strength and majesty of Qin Shihuang after he unified China.

The First Emperor glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, "So you, little girl, actually want me to confiscate all the weapons in the world and forge the twelve golden men. You are quite ambitious!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed, "Hehe, no way."

She explained earnestly, "I don't want these twelve golden men out of any selfish motive."

"The Twelve Golden Men of the Qin Dynasty have disappeared in our time. No one knows where they went."

Cheng Xiaoxiao sighed. "When I think about how these should be national treasures, but are now gathering dust in some remote corner, I feel very sorry. So I wish I could take them back. After all, they are the treasures of China."

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor was stunned, and then he thought again that it would be a pity if these twelve golden men disappeared in the long river of history.

The First Emperor waved his hand and said, "Well, I originally wanted to put these twelve golden men in my imperial mausoleum. If that's the case, I'll give them to you!"

The First Emperor: Now that I know how to cultivate immortality, it is still uncertain whether the imperial mausoleum will be of any use. It would be better to give it to a girl and let her take it back to China so that other countries can witness the majesty of the Qin Dynasty.

"Thank you, ancestors!" Cheng Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

That’s great! China now has another national treasure.

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought, since she was already here, she might as well bring something else back.

She looked at the First Emperor, hesitant to speak, "Ancestor, that..."

The First Emperor: "..." If you have anything to say, just say it all at once. I don't eat people.

"Is there anything else you want?" The First Emperor looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao and asked.

Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her little finger and gestured, "Can you give me some books?"

The First Emperor smiled and said, "I thought it was no big deal. Tell me what book you want?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was very anxious, "Mianmian, help me, please help me find out which important books our ancestors burned when they burned books and buried scholars."

Cheng Mianmian curled her lips and thought to herself: You thought of me at this time, why didn’t you call me when you were having hot pot?

Mouth, "Okay, Master."

In an instant.

A light curtain appeared before Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes. On it were written the names of important books. She read them out word by word, "I want the Book of Music, History of the Six Kingdoms, Yi of Lianshan, Book of Songs, Spring and Autumn Annals, Book of Yu and Xia, Book of Shang, Book of Songs, etc."

Cheng Xiaoxiao: There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s because ordinary people don’t often come into contact with these things except those big names.

The First Emperor: Good fellow, are you planning to empty the Qin Dynasty’s collection of books?

"Yes," said the First Emperor. "Except for the Book of Yu and Xia and the Book of Shang, which are in the Xianyang Palace, Fusu has all the others. Go to Fusu's house and ask him for them!"

"Okay." Cheng Xiaoxiao responded playfully.

She put all the things the First Emperor had given her into her space, and then set off towards Fusu's residence...

Just as the First Emperor sat down to review the memorials, Cheng Xiaoxiao came back.

She scratched her head and looked at the First Emperor and said, "Ancestor, where is Fusu's mansion?"

The First Emperor held his forehead and said, "Forget it, I'll ask Qi Yuan to take you there!"

"Qi Yuan, take her to Fusu's mansion." The First Emperor ordered.

Cheng Xiaoxiao: "Hehe, that would be great."

Qi Yuan: "..." Your Majesty, I don't want to do that at all.
